Topic: My wish (Read 1128 times)

Thanks for all the exchange of ideas and thoughts on this website. I knew from the beginning I was an outsider, being a theist, but you all have done a wonderful job of making me feel welcome. Your tolerance of my questions and responses is deeply appreciated. I look forward to many more posts and exchanges.

May your time with friends and relatives be enjoyable; may any theological discussions you get into be civil; may the food be always be tasty; may the coming New Year be one filled with joy, opportunity, personal growth and prosperity; and may you always have the time of your life.

And if you ever find yourself all alone and needing someone to talk with, feel free to drop me a line or two.

Sincerely,

OldChurchGuy

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle - Philo of Alexandria

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion - Dalai Lama

While I don't actually think that your hopes that all my food will be tasty will improve my cooking a whit, I still appreciate all the sentiments. Right back at you, with dozens of nice hopes for you and yours, which I am tossing in your direction. Have a great holiday season and I think I'm allowed, without dissent, to wish you a happy new year.

And of course the same to everyone else. Christmas is too fun to argue over.

OCG, there's a reason your posts are well-recieved and well-responded to: you are *by far and away* the most reasonable, honest theist I've ever read on this board. When you don't know something, you say "I don't know" rather than embarrass yourself and make sh1t up. You're respectful, courteous, and thoughtful. I think everyone -- atheist and theist alike -- would do well to familiarize themselves with your "work" on this site.

thanks for your well-wishes (as i know they're sincere), and right back acha, with interest!

...religion is simply tribalism with a side order of philosophical wankery, and occasionally a baseball bat to smash...anyone who doesn't show...deference to the tribe's chosen totem.

~Astreja

To not believe in god is to know that it falls to us to make the world a better place.
